What is an internal bra?

An internal bra is a surgical technique used to provide additional support and structure to breast tissue during a breast lift or reduction procedure. The internal bra involves the use of permanent or absorbable surgical mesh or sutures to create an internal framework or support system for the breasts.

This technique is often used in cases where the breast tissue has become lax or droopy due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. By providing additional support, the internal bra can help improve the shape and position of the breasts and increase the longevity of the results of a breast lift or reduction surgery.

The internal bra technique is typically performed during the initial breast lift or reduction surgery and can help reduce the risk of complications such as stretching or sagging of the breast tissue over time. The type of material used for the internal bra and the specific technique employed will depend on the individual patient's needs and desired outcome.

Overall, the internal bra technique is considered to be a safe and effective method for providing additional support and structure to the breasts during breast lift or reduction surgery. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to determine if the internal bra technique is appropriate for your specific needs and goals.
